Shtuff

Starting some seedlings; cucumbers, herbs, and tomatoes. Looking to start some flowers as well, any suggestions?

The other day, the plumbing went at Kia's school and every single toilet in the school overflowed. The kids had to go to the recreation center beside their school to use the bathroom for the rest of the day. Kia said, when she went, "it was like the whole school was there." If I had been in school, I would have found every excuse in the book to go to the bathroom muliple times.

Power washer issues: a connection between the cord and the machine burst over winter, as there must have been some water left in there. I had great intentions of power washing the driveway prior to the street sweeper coming by. Instead, I just hosed the dirt of the driveway, it looks way better, but I figure I wasted way more water.

There's a light dusting of the white stuff on the ground. It didn't stick on the driveway, but it left it's mark on the grass and I could just cry about it.

I want to create a lower fire pit. I often feel as though our fire is hidden by the pit and so I'm going to try setting up with a shorter surround. Here's a link to what it looks like now and I want something a bit more like this:

I totally don't think I can get this, as having some sort of surround is necessary for safety, but I'm going for something a bit more low and will share photos down the road.

I searched the internet over and over again to find a tutorial for a paper barn star and couldn't find one, so I decided to figure it out on my own and make one. I can't be the only one, so here's my photo tutorial of how to make one for yourself! There may be easier ways to do this, but this is what I came up with and seems to work just fine.To make your paper barn star you will need:5 square pieces of paper in the size and style of your choice: cardstock, patterned paper, vintage paper will all work, but thicker paper works best. For this example I used double sided patterned paper from Crate Paper and cut it to 3 inches x 3 inches.Adhesive. I prefer permanent tape adhesive but a glue stick would work just fine.ScissorsA bone folder (not necessary but extremely helpful)A water based sealer such as mod podge to protect the end product and give it strength.

I'm on the lookout for some fun firewood storage ideas to implement in the backyard by the firepit. My search did not disappoint. Budget wise, I'll probably just purchase a large potting container from Costco and re purpose it with firewood. Though, these ideas let my imagination roam.This entire site was rocking for ideas. The designers created an entire furniture line around the concept of firewood storage. Cool.Where can I get a wooden milk crate? Cuz I wants one.Lots of log baskets and firewood racks to be found here. I really loved the look of this vintage copper bucket.Um...these rock. Nothing like some industrial zinc firewood holders to complete the look.I adore neatly cut wood piled perfectly at the entrance of a house. Reminds me of life at a ski hill. Hey, if you have any links of other great ideas - please pass them along!
